<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>A Fractal Narrative is a special type of story that can be read at multiple levels of scale. This allows the detail of the story to be increased or decreased without changing its overall structure.</p>
<p>Fractal Narratives are built by recursively inserting new content between existing story fragments, creating a potentially infinitely complex narrative.  By constructing the story using this technique, the author can create a narrative that can be read in a great number of different ways - since almost any arbitrary part of the story can be skipped without affecting the flow of the story.
